Abstract
A handwashing timer comprises a timer housing configured to be attached to a water faucet or a soap dispenser; a sensor housed within the timer housing and configured to detect an event; an output (e.g., an optical output, an acoustic output, a vibrational output) housed within or on the timer housing; and a controller housed within the timer housing, responsive to the sensor, and configured to measure a time from when the sensor detects the event and to change a state of the output after the measured time exceeds a threshold.
